[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In the park near my house, there is a creek where a few ducks live. They are so used to being fed by passers-by that they are not shy at all.
So when you show up on one of the bridges, these ducks expect you to have brought some bread or the like for them.
When I arrived, there was not a single duck in sight but within a minute, they all came flying and landed in a very dynamic way. And even though I didn't get my camera out in time, you can still see the "landing trail" of this particular duck.

Technically this picture is excellent, with an empression of fluidity and a good composition of colors. The only thing I don't like is the way the duck turns his head making it unreal and as if you turned his head by force but may be do I not know enough about ducks !

Hi Soya.

Very nice shot. About the duck, I had to take a closer look at it to make sure that it was a "real" picture; very interesting effect. I like the way you processed the frames; it is cool to see the "landing trail" flow from the inner frame towards the outer frame. Very original.

Great job Soya.....

Hi Soya,

The close-up point of view is allowing us to see the details and colors of the mallard duck. The capture of the ripples in the water is an asset to the composition. The colors are enhanced by the quality of the light. Have a nice day.
